perezhilton.com:

Amid Kanye West making headlines for a slew of controversies – including his antisemitic rhetoric, false claims about George Floyd’s death, and “White Lives Matter” stunt – more of his terrible comments are coming to light.

According to a new report from The Wrap published on Saturday, the 45-year-old spewed a ton of harmful and controversial remarks during his 2019 interview for David Letterman’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, but they never made the final cut.

Audience members have now come forward, claiming the final edit of Kanye’s appearance with David did not include a bunch of “shocking” moments.

What was removed from the episode? During the January 2019 taping at the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles, Noah Reich and David Maldonado claimed Kanye often shared right-wing conspiracy theories and stated that liberals treated anyone wearing a pro-Donald Trump MAGA hat “like they were Nazis.” Related: Amy Schumer Calls Kanye West A ‘Nazi’ In SNL Opening Monologue Kanye also reportedly went on a rant about the #MeToo movement, referencing an unidentified music executive friend that got “MeToo-ed” and how he himself also could be “MeToo-ed.” The fashion designer then spoke about “a Hollywood power structure” that pushed forward the movement, which Noah believed he was referring to Jewish People.
